Space Hotel: Ad Campaign..........Marking Period Four


Sample Work

FAQ


Your assignment is to create an advertising campaign for an Orbiting Space Hotel. Since the cost of flying to the Hotel will be enormous, you will have to convince people that the experience of the visit will be worth the price. You can create the advertising campaign using newspaper ads, radio spots, television commercials, web sites, travel brochures, or any other medium that receives prior approval of the teacher.

Since your target audience has never been to anyplace like this hotel, you will have to "paint a picture" about what to expect when they get there. In addition to the usual luxuries of a resort hotel, your descriptions should show them why their experience in the Orbiting Space hotel will be unlike any other experience they've ever had!

Your assignment is to create an advertising campaign.
  • You may work alone or with one other person taking Mr. Cox's Science and Technology class;
  • you must accurately describe the experience of microgravity;

Here are some important features of the hotel:
  • In the first building, you will experience weightlessness. One room is dedicated to "flying" with soft cushioning lining all surfaces of the room, and strap-on wings for participants. Another room is dedicated to "bouncing", with elastic material lining all surfaces of the room. There are additional empty rooms for you to design something interesting!
  • In the second building, you will experience simulated gravity. The building is a cylinder that spins, so guests can walk on the inner surface. One of the rings is a jogging track, where you can run as long as you want without ever changing directions. Another ring is a bowling alley, where the pins are behind you and there is no need for a ball-return. There are additional empty rings for you to design something interesting!

Here's what I'll be looking for:
